Trying to build a nice flask macro.

[friendlygamer28]

Hello Everyone,
im trying to build a nice macro for gaming and could need some help.

I wanna press "1" and that should press 1 2 3 4 5 for me and idealy use a rnd delay of some ms between those key presses.

I started out like this:

Code: Select all

1::

Send {1 down}{2 down}{3 down}{4 down}{5 down}

KeyWait, 1

Send {1 up}{2 up}{3 up}{4 up}{5 up}

one problem is that it only presses 2 3 4 5 when i use 1 as trigger. how do i fix that?

the 2nd thing is how do i add rnd generated delay between those key presses?

I would apreaciate help very much <3

Best Regards
Friendly Gamer

Add $ before the hotkey when you are planning to send the same key.

Explained: Hotkey modifier symbols

For random sleep: Random • Sleep

Multi-line hotkey routines should (generally) end in Return.

There are a few ways to do this.
Open Notepad and run this script to test.
Modify for your needs:

Code: Select all

~1:: ;send 1 may have to use $1:: but try and see
KeyWait, 1, T0.5  ;Wait for key to be physically released.
Loop, 4
{
	Send % A_Index + 1 ;send 2 through 5
	Random, OutputVar , 30, 100 ; RND 30ms to 100ms
	Sleep, % OutputVar ; random pause
}

Return

hey i worked out a version that seems to be working fine:

Code: Select all

$1::
 {
   sendinput, 1
   sleep, % ran(50, 100)
   sendinput, 2
   sleep, % ran(50, 100)
   sendinput, 3
   sleep, % ran(50, 100)
   sendinput, 4
   sleep, % ran(50, 150)
   sendinput, 5
   sleep, % ran(50, 175)
 }
return

ran(min, max)
 {
   random, ran, min, max
   return ran
 }

now im wondering what is the difference between

Code: Select all

sendinput, 1

and

Code: Select all

Send {1 down}
Send {1 up}

im trying to make this macro as undetectable by the game as possible. so im wondering what the difference between those 2 versions would be.

See Send. Send is SendEvent by default. SendInput has less delay and is less interruptible. Otherwise, I think that you are seeing essentially the same sequence. KeyHistory can be informative for understanding this in more detail.
